Pizza Puffs

Sometimes, sandwiches just aren't going to cut it for lunch. I mean really, I can't expect my kids to eat them every day just because I can make them in my sleep. I made these pizza puffs to change-up our mid-day meal today and my two preschoolers ate the entire batch. They devoured them so… Continue reading Pizza Puffs

Graham-O-Toffee Candy

The "O" is for oats. These treats are to DIE for. Incredibly easy and layered deliciousness. I'm taking them camping this weekend. If they last that long. I love recipes where the finished product seems like more work than it actually took. Shhh. It'll be our little secret how simple these are. Start with a… Continue reading Graham-O-Toffee Candy

Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting

I'm pretty conflicted about sharing this recipe. On the one hand, the cookies taste delicious. They are kind of like an apple crisp cookie. They have chewy oats and sweet apples with a hint of cinnamon. Delightful. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the recipe was missing a key step. Chilling the dough. My… Continue reading Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting

Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Baked goods involving zucchini are considered a vegetable in my book. I've been exercising like a crazy person lately and watching my calories, so more vegetables is exactly what I need. This amazingly moist absolutely decadent tasting chocolate bread fit the bill perfectly. I don't feel too badly about it since it's reasonably low-calorie and… Continue reading Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread

No Bake Energy Bites

My husband recently brought home some chocolate from Israel. His co-worker brought it back from a trip. I was intrigued by the packaging. Instead of a caloric count on the back, the label read "energy". I love that. Food = Fuel. Sometimes I forget that the food I eat provides energy to my body. These… Continue reading No Bake Energy Bites

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

I'm making peanut butter and chocolate for two reasons. I needed a snack to bring to conference championship weekend (it's a football thing - pretty much the best day in the NFL all year) and secondly, I don't really like peanut butter chocolate things. Since I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I need to… Continue reading Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Fried Mozzarella Balls

I have tried the fried cheese at just about every restaurant in the Seattle area. I love it. In sticks, wedges or balls. With marinara, sprinkled with parmesan, panko, breadcrumbs or beer battered. I would eat it in a box. I would eat it with a fox. I would eat it here or there. I… Continue reading Fried Mozzarella Balls

Churros

What happens when a girl who loves Disneyland has leftover cinnamon sugar? She makes churros. I have been longing for Disneyland churros for about two weeks now. They are my absolute favorite thing to eat there. Well, the Pomme Frites from Cafe Orleans are also amazing. And I do love a frosty Dole Whip. But… Continue reading Churros

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips

I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
